Abstract

A multifunctional dumbbell assembly is provided, which comprises a dumbbell body and a handle strap which is detachably connected to the dumbbell body. The dumbbell body includes a handle, a first head and a second head. The heads are fixed to the opposite ends of the handle respectively. The handle strap includes a strap and two connectors which are connected to the ends of the strap respectively. Each of the first head and the second head includes: an end cover covering an end of the dumbbell body; a first coupling member having a central through hole and a cavity, an arc groove being formed in the cavity; and a second coupling member having clutch block ( 151 ) at one end, the shape of which is complementary to that of the cavity in the first coupling member, further having connector attachment portions, the second coupling member being also provided with a through hole. The dumbbell assembly is convenient and safe for use. In addition, it provides an additional exercise function.
